After the discovery of the new Ω∗ state, the ratio of the branching fractions of Ω(2012)→KˉπΞ relative to KˉΞ decay channel was investigated by the Belle Collaboration recently. The measured 11.9% up limit on this ratio is in sharp tension with the S-wave KˉΞ(1530) molecule interpretation for Ω(2012) which indicates the dominant KˉπΞ three-body decay. In the present work, we try to explore the possibility of the P-wave molecule assignments for Ω(2012) (where Ω(2012) has positive parity). It is found that the latest experimental measurements are compatible with the 1/2+ and 3/2+KˉΞ(1530) molecular pictures, while the 5/2+KˉΞ(1530) molecule shows the larger KˉπΞ three-body decay compared with the KˉΞ decay as the case of S-wave molecule. Thus, the newly observed Ω(2012) can be interpreted as the 1/2+ or 3/2+KˉΞ(1530) molecule state according to current experiment data.
